The Rockets give up more fast break points than any team, allowing 17.8 per game.
That is often because they average more turnovers, 17 per game. That was not the issue on Thursday, though the Rockets had 12 through three quarters, just one in the fourth.The Rockets, as always, chased offensive rebounds. No team averages more than the Rockets’ 13.5 per game or grabs a greater percentage of its own missed shots. The Rockets had 12 offensive rebounds and scored 25 second-chance points.
The Mavericks’ 25 fast break points were a season high, if not by as great a margin as Dallas coach Jason Kidd assumed. The Rockets have allowed more than Thursday’s 25 fast break points just three times this season with the season-high 28 coming in the opener in Atlanta. But in the previous two games, they gave up 23 and 24 fast break points so they were trending the wrong way.
